Office Assistant

Kristin has worked at St. Bridget Church since 2014 and serves as the welcoming face at the front desk. She is ready to handle your questions, from scheduling a baptism, signing up for a church event, purchasing SCRIP, or adding news to the bulletin. Prior to coming to St. Bridget, Kristin worked as a registered dietitian and still loves cooking, modifying recipes, and sharing nutrition and wellness tips. Kristin’s favorite part of her job is getting to know and make connections with the members of St. Bridget. Kristin and her husband, Ryan, were married at St. Bridget in 2009. They have one daughter, Emma, who loves to play dress up, paint her nails, and help mommy cook. When she's not at church, she enjoys trying new recipes (sometimes to her family’s dislike), going for walks with her family, and hanging out with her family whether it be reading books, playing games, or cheering on the Green Bay Packers!

Faith Formation

Diane is our Coordinator of Children’s Faith Formation, and says that what she enjoys most about this role is trying to keep up with the kids – both in energy and sincerity! She especially loves First Communion, when she is inspired by the candidates who beam with the awe and eagerness that we each should have every time we receive! She also admits to being a Bible-nerd, and thoroughly enjoys studying Scripture. (She is nearing completion of her Masters of Theology degree at the St. Paul Seminary and School of Divinity.) When not preparing a lesson or studying, she enjoys fitness activities of almost any kind – so she has the energy to keep up with the kids!

Tessa has been serving as the Coordinator of Teen Faith Formation at St. Bridget Church since 2004. Before moving to River Falls, she received a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Ministry from Viterbo University in La Crosse, WI. She loves middle school and high school youth, icebreakers and studying the Bible. With a little bit of coffee she could talk about God’s love all day! Tessa lives in River Falls with her husband Chad, and their two children, Priscilla and Levi.
